You don't have to navigate traffic, you're driven by and given ample time off this small bus to see everything and take tons of photos, lunch and a fantastic history lesson. $220.00 per person. Pick up 7:05 am and dropped back off at 5:00 pm. Lunch is quite good. Sandwiches from Deli Delicious in Oakhurst. Lunch is taken in the middle of the park where you can sit and enjoy it, use the facilities, grab a Starbucks if needed and take a short walk over to one of the waterfalls. You're picked back up after an hour and 1/2 and this wonderful tour continues. You see loads of wildlife, more amazing waterfalls and this famous sites you've seen all over the place in pictures, movies, paintings, etc and if your lucky, so rock climbers on 1/2 Dome or El Capitan. Incredible scenery and so much to learn about this incredible place, the indigenous peoples and tribes that lived here and the incredible amount of history all in one day. Do yourself a favor and take the tour. Hopefully you'll get Grant. He's fun, is an excellent driver, has lots of bottled water and snacks, really takes care of his fares, knows an enormous amount of info from here and makes the tour really fun. There's so much to see and if you don't know where you're going, you can really get turned around and hung up in traffic.

There are lots of unhealthy snacks and plenty of cold water! Lunch with sandwiches for vegetarian there's a veggie sandwich without cheese and a peanut butter and jelly option. Probably not my favorite lunch but definitely accommodates the majority and most enjoyed. We had lunch at glacier point and had about an hour to relax there. It was really nice having somebody do all the driving and the explaining. We were picked up from Tenaya Lodge at 7:30 and dropped off around 5 PM. We didn't know that we would have an opportunity to jump in the river Water at our last stop so I would suggest bringing a change of clothes or bathing suit and maybe even a blowup tube because it's worth the time. We would recommend this tour, but it is a long day and Marsha was cognizant to let us know that she was gonna allow us to rest on the way home. Worth the money.

This was our first visit to Yosemite and we needed an experienced guided tour to give us an…read moreoverview of the park so we could do some exploring later on our own. We booked a tour with Crossroads through Viator and it was a great choice. Our guide Mike was perfect. Low key, patience of a saint( people drive like yahoos even in Yosemite) knowledgeable with lots of history and current news of the park. Mike made sure to show us where the trailheads were for hikes we were thinking of taking at a later date. Our family of 6 took up most of the van and we were lucky to have another couple who were wonderful,to share the experience with us. You will get an early start with this tour but it is well worth it. We saw EVERYTHING! Thank goodness for Mike, he really was the perfect guide for us. I bobbled the booking and they were still happy to accommodate us. Do them a favor and contact them 72 hours in advance of your tour date-even if it is the weekendWe got a nice bagged lunch from Bee's Bakery and Cafe and good quality T-Shirts with the tour. We were tired but very happy that we booked a tour with Crossroads and Mike was our guide by the time we were dropped off at our car in the late afternoon. Traveling all day in a van with people who match your energy is priceless. Thanks for a really great experience Mike!!

This is one of the most professional horse back riding stables that we have gone to across the US…read moreand Canada over the past decade or more. The horses are well trained and cared for, and the staff is attentive, patient and kind. The ride was beautiful. We did a one hour tour that crossed a creek twice and went up and down hills. The staff does a verbal training and allows some time for practice--making sure that everyone is comfortable before heading out. They even stopped part of the way to check everyone's saddles and take photos. I highly recommend these stables when in the Yosemite area. As a plus, flush toilets are available at check-in.

We asked her which direction was the way out, she said I will not help you and don't care get out. She then jumped on her bus, slammed the bus door and angrily stared at me and peeled out the bus. A state licensed plate white jeep vehicle drove by a few moments after and was totally apologetic and helped us get back on the route to the village.
